Features

Technologies Used

• Backend: The server-side of the application is built using Rust, a systems programming language known for its performance and safety features.

• Frontend: The user interface is built with Svelte, a modern JavaScript framework that compiles components to highly efficient vanilla JavaScript.

• TypeScript: TypeScript is used to add static typing to JavaScript, providing enhanced development tools and reducing errors.

Design

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Rust installed.
• Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/jiri132/Flare.git

2. Navigate to the backend directory: cd src-tauri/src/ and run cargo run to start the Rust backend server.
3. Open another terminal window, navigate to the frontend directory: cd src and run the following commands:
   • npm install to install the required frontend dependencies.
   • npm run dev to start the Svelte development server.

The app should now be running and accessible at http://localhost:5000.
